John Brashear Time Capsule

On March 24, 2015 I was inspecting the remains of the Brashear Factory when a member of the demolition crew announced to me he found a time capsule in the cornerstone of the building a few days ago. The decision was made to open the time capsule after several days of calls to various societies and organizations without results. We believed the entire event could be documented by the cameras we had available, and so all four of us watched in wonder as a small brass box sealed with solder was opened for the first time since John A. Brashear took his last look at its contents 121 years ago.
